Chapter 464 Alert

Yuan Zhuoyue jumped off the bed lightly, but just as he walked to the closed door, he placed his hand on the door that was carved with exquisite patterns.

Then she heard Morax's low and steady voice, which reached her ears somewhat vaguely through the closed doors and windows.

Yuan Zhuoyue was sure that Morax could sense her waking up, but even so he did not stop and told his old friend about his vigilance against Yuan Zhuoyue.

After hearing these words, Yuan Zhuoyue's action of pushing the door suddenly stopped.

However, he did not take back his hand, which was already on the door, and just planned to wait until Morax finished explaining his instructions before going out to meet her.

Yuan Zhuoyue originally thought that she would feel indignant or sad when she heard this, but in the moment she was stunned, the only thing that popped into her mind was this sentence.

——As expected.

Yuan Zhuoyue could also hear the defensiveness towards herself in those words. Of course, the fact that she could hear these words also meant that Morax had a different kind of trust in her.

He was not worried, because she knew his defensive attitude, and she was not worried about the many plans he had made.

Yuan Zhuoyue even had a strange feeling in her heart that what Morax did was not a bad thing. It was much better to be prepared now than to have her be checked when a crisis broke out.

It’s also much more controllable.

Yuan Zhuoyue waited until Morax, who was outside the yard, finished communicating with Gui Zhong and Ruota Dragon King and left before she pushed open the closed door, walked out of the room, and met Morax's gaze.

Both of them looked extremely frank and composed, as if one of them did not think that there was anything wrong with the opinions he had just expressed.

The other one also seemed to be not sticking to the door, just listening attentively.

Even Morax asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth: "I just gave Ruo Tuo and Gui Zhong the instructions, and I troubled them to pass on the warnings to the immortals... You should have heard it all, right?"

"I heard everything." Yuan Zhuoyue nodded calmly, and replied as if he didn't care: "...You did the right thing. Even in my previous work, I would always conduct some corresponding emergency drills for possible critical situations."

Her voice was calm, as if she was explaining Morax's behavior, or as if she was convincing herself: "Now you want to make preparations early and limit an unstable factor to a controllable range. There is nothing wrong with that."

"...But I sense the unhappiness in your heart." Morax said, and stretched out his hand to Yuan Zhuoyue who was approaching him: "You are not very happy now."

Yuan Zhuoyue walked into Morax and after seeing Morax's actions, he almost subconsciously stretched out his hand and placed his hand gently on Morax's palm very familiarly.

It was not until her hand was gently held in Morax's palm that Yuan Zhuoyue realized belatedly what she had done.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Yuan Zhuoyue finally did not pull his hand away, but just turned his head slightly and avoided looking at him.

He murmured quietly, as if to express his dissatisfaction: "If I were just an 'accident', I wouldn't mind anything you said. But I have emotions, I know joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness... Even if I know that you made the right choice, I still have some complicated emotions because of it."

Morax knew everything about Yuan Zhuoyue, and naturally knew how to resolve her various bad emotions when facing Yuan Zhuoyue in any state.

Avoid further deterioration of the relationship between them, which is already precarious and could explode suddenly once any conflict arises.

Just simple words, simple actions, because of the understanding of Yuan Zhuoyue.

Morax easily eliminated any tense atmosphere that might arise in their subsequent conversation.

Yuan Zhuoyue cannot bear lies and cannot tolerate deception, so unless it is necessary, Morax will not try to fool Yuan Zhuoyue by talking around the issue.

Of course Morax did not defend himself, but stared at Yuan Zhuoyue's golden eyes, which were already glowing with a faint golden glow, like molten gold at sunset, and were very similar to his.

He calmly expressed his thoughts and attitude: "...I know you will be unhappy about this, but I have the responsibility to do this."

"You are very honest." Yuan Zhuoyue said calmly, "You don't say anything nice to comfort me."

"I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to say anything against my will at this moment, and you don't want to hear it." Morax smiled and replied: "If I really said it, you would be really angry."

Yuan Zhuoyue nodded without comment, as if he calmly accepted this statement and easily let the matter go.

In fact, when he first heard it, Yuan Zhuoyue had a feeling that he was excluded and not accepted by Morax.

But combined with the images in the memory fragments he saw during this period, Yuan Zhuoyue could also understand what Morax did and his vigilance.

But it is inevitable that there will be some ripples in one's heart, just like the calm water surface broken by a stone thrown into it. The waves will only gradually subside after spreading again and again.

In fact, Morax did not say anything excessive, he was just standing from the perspective of an objective and fair manager.

Reasonable precautions and warnings were taken.

It was just a warning to all the immortals in Liyue not to approach her casually from now on, and to complete the defensive fortifications that could resist her in various places in Liyue as soon as possible.

Although he didn't have any strong feelings when he first heard it, thinking back on it now, Yuan Zhuoyue inexplicably felt a little depressed.

In order to prevent himself from paying too much attention to these things and preventing his state and emotions from changing suddenly, Yuan Zhuoyue decided to divert his attention.

"I had originally planned to travel with you to Liyue Harbor, but I never expected the plan to fall apart halfway." Yuan Zhuoyue said jokingly, "Now I feel that I am in pretty good shape, so why don't you accompany me to go for a stroll? And by the way, pay off the debts I owe you?"

But this time, Yuan Zhuoyue hoped that there would not be any unexpected emergencies as before.
